AN: Sorry I missed I day, I got caught up with some things. So to make up for my sin, I present a doubley-long chapter for today! I think I'm really going to enjoy writing the next one...-CakeLegends
The Impossible Girl - Chapter 26
Ruby and Weiss froze in place at the Redhead's question.
"Let's face it Nora." Weiss said as she began to relax, "Coming from you, this probably isn't even the strangest thing you've seen today."
"Yeah, it probably isn't." Nora agreed. "But I still want to know what this is. Some type of best friend Hate-sex?"
"N-No!" Ruby answered blushed deeply.
Ruby and Weiss untangled and walked out of the closet, fixing their clothes as they did so. "Actually, that's what we thought it was at first." Weiss informed. "It took a while, but we're...you know..."
"Dating?"
Both Ruby and Weiss cringed slightly at the word.
"What's wrong with the word dating?" Nora questioned as she noticed the duo's reactions.
"Nothing, its still a lot to process. You know we're both a little-"
"Insecure?" Nora guessed in her bubbly voice.
"I'd prefer the term 'emotionally-challenged'." Weiss joked. "I guess we usually just say we need each other."
Nora gave an amused giggle at the quirky couple. "You two make no sense! That's means even more than saying you're dating."
"Look, can you just not tell everyone else?" Ruby asked. "Yang and Blake know about us. We just want to wait a while."
Nora took a large inhale, followed by an extended 'Hmmm.' as she thought. The couple rolled their eyes at the extended noise. Nora thought to herself for a few more seconds in silence.
"Nah, I'm going to tell them." Nora concluded.
"What? No! Why?" Ruby exclaimed suddenly in surprise.
"I'm going to tell them because you two will take way too long. You said you already told your team, how are your friends any different? You two had the audacity to go Ursa-riding with me and not even bring it up!" Nora crossed her arms and turned her back slightly as she said her last statement.
"We can't stop, you can we?" Weiss asked in defeat.
"No, but you can come along and watch!" Nora said as she grabbed the two by their shirt-collars and dragged them along. The duo didn't bother to wrestle out of her grip; they'd seen the redhead punt Yang through the ceiling with nothing but a watermelon on a stick.
Nora dragged them down the hallway back to team JNPR's dorm. They braced themselves as Nora kicked the door wide open.
"Nora, for the last time, the door is unlocked." Ren said in his mellow voice. He gave the Redhead a condescending look from over his book; Nora stuck her tongue out in response. She released her grip on the duo. Weiss noticed Jaune and Pyrrha playing cards on the floor.
"Guys, some crazy miracle-paradox happened!"
"You got two things from the vending machine again?" Jaune assumed, continuing the card game.
"Weiss and Ruby are..." Nora finished her sentence by raising her eyebrows up and down as she grinned. They rest of the team slowly realized.
"Wait, you don't mean-"
"Oh, I indeed mean." Nora confirmed. The couple gave embarrassed nods.
"Are you guys mad?" Ruby asked shamefully.
"What?" Pyrrha responded. "Of course not! You guys can do whatever you want. Its just weird given your...history."
"Well it took a lot to get us up to this point." Weiss said admittedly.
Team JNPR's interest peaked at her words.
"What happened exactly?" Ren asked, putting down his book.
"Its kind of a long story..." Ruby explained.
"We've got time. Plus, you two owe us for telling us so late!" Nora exclaimed, followed by nods from the rest of her team. Team JNPR stared down the couple until they finally caved in.
"Fine, but I'm not telling you everything." Weiss said, "You better sit down, because this is going to take a while."
It was now late in the afternoon.
Weiss and Ruby told the story to their team in detail while, much to Nora's disappointment, leaving out the more personal and graphic scenes.
"You two kissed at the dance, then practically dated one another for two months and never thought anything of it?" Jaune asked.
"It makes us sound kind of dumb when you summarize it, but yes pretty much." Weiss answered.
"Have you two gone on an actual date yet?" Pyrrha asked the couple.
"I guess not." Ruby answered. "The closest thing we've done was with Blake and Yang down in Vale."
There was a pause as the duo came to realize how late they were to meet their teammates. Their friends didn't even have time to ask as the couple sprinted out of the room and out of the school towards the shuttle, trying to reach Vale as fast as possible.
"Shit, are they even still there?" Ruby asked seeing her partner checking her scroll.
"Blake said they stayed the rest of the day. We could still meet up with them for dinner."
"What's the place?" the caped-girl asked as the shuttle began to move. "The cafe they always go to?"
"No, that place only serves breakfast. I guess we'll see when we get there."
"They're going to give us hell for being this late."
The couple eventually met their teammates at the location they were all familiar with: in front of the combat museum. The looks of expectancy from Blake and Yang made both girls look at their toes.
"You two owe us for scaring us that badly! You could have been mugged!"
"Psst, come on Yang. You know I'd fuck a mugger up." Ruby remarked. Weiss suppressed a giggle.
"You know what I meant." Yang turned and pointed to Weiss. "And therefore Schnee's paying."
"What." Weiss exclaimed in disbelief. "Blake ran away for a month and I bought her a laptop. Now we're a few hours late and I buy you all dinner? That makes no sense."
"I ran away to try and undo my wrongs." Blake informed. "I wasn't busy humping in a closet."
"How…?"
"Nora texted me." Blake explained. Weiss rolled her eyes.
"Alright, alright. Where are we going?"
Yang smirked as she came up with an answer. "Cher Ridicule."
"That's ridiculous! Just getting a seat at that place costs more than most people make in a month!"
"Weiss, even if you don't bring it up as much anymore: You're rich as hell. This is the only way it's a punishment for you."
The Heiress scowled at her teammate for a few moments. Yang and Blake's unphasing smirks eventually won through.
"Alright...fuck it." Weiss growled as she gave in. "But don't order anything over twenty thousand."
They walked across Vale to the high-rise part of the city. The sun had set and it was now a clear, starry night.
To say the restaurant was fancy would be an insult. The Heiress saw the jaws of her friends drop as they walked through the luxuriously crafted double doors. They immediately felt out of place, realizing they were the only ones in the massive eatery not wearing classy suits and dresses.
"Excuse me, do you have any seats available?" Weiss asked politely, hoping dearly to get turned away. If there was one thing these snobs hated, it was people walking in and asking that question.
"Under normal circumstances we require a reservation." Weiss almost cheered. "But a current holder is quite late, A Mr. Adrian De Santé. If you paid a fee, you could take his place."
Weiss sighed and, after seeing the begging look on her partner's faces, paid the man.
"Right this way." The man said, leading them to their table.
Ruby looked around the colossal restaurant. With its marble walls and expensive art, it seemed like everyone was eating in a museum for priceless art. An orchestra, not a quartet, played at the backside of the restaurant barely taking up any room, and they're music heard throughout all the halls.
"Well that's some sick irony." Weiss commented as they walked.
"What do you mean?" Blake asked.
"Adrian De Santé was that asshole I killed." Weiss said sharply, causing the rest of her team's eyes to widen in shock. Weiss shook her head, dismissing the potential conversation.
Whoever De Santé was, he was extremely rich indeed. They were lead to one of the very center tables, right next to other politicians and overlooked crime lords. They sat down feeling more out of place than ever.
They received their menus, and felt thankful they didn't have to pay for this. All of them except Weiss. She let out a faint cry as she opened the menu.
"My dad is going to rip out my neck." She mumbled.
Yang, Blake and Ruby spent no expense at picking their meals.
"I think I'm going to get the filet mignon. Oooh, it comes with a solid gold bar on the side." Yang announced.
"What's the gold for?" Ruby asked.
"It's for show. They just throw it out when you're done eating."
Weiss knew she wasn't going to make it through this ordeal without some assistance. She called the waiter over.
"What's the cheapest bottle you have?" Weiss asked.
"The Cheapest? I think we have some Chateau Margaux in stock."
Weiss sighed and nodded for the waiter to retrieve it. The rest of her team received their food and chatted away as Weiss received her wine.
"They aren't going to card you?" Blake asked in shock.
"As long as you pay, they don't really care here. Look, there's some mobsters and pricey prostitutes sitting over there, and they don't even care."
Her team shrugged it off and began to devour their meals. They chatted and ate their decadent food, unable to keep from commenting on the explosions of flavor.
Yang's eyes went cross eyed at her first bite.
"This is fucking incredible." Blake commented.
"I think I'm having an orgasm in my mouth!" Ruby exclaimed, earning nods of agreement from both Blake and Yang. They all looked over to see Weiss drowning herself in booze. She was halfway through her second bottle.
"Weiss, I know you have weirdly high tolerance but still, you should take it easy." Yang said worriedly.
"I can handle myself." Weiss said feeling cocky from her buzz. "I'll show you."
The Heiress called their waiter over. "What's the most alcoholic thing you have."
"We have one bottle of Absinthe X, though I wouldn't suggest it. No one has tried even one shot of it without immediately dying or almost dying from alcohol poisoning..."
"What's Absinthe X?" Ruby asked.
"The creator of Absinthe made an even stronger drink, one whose alcohol content is higher than 100%. For every molecule of Alcohol, there are two molecules stuffed inside it."
"That makes absolutely no sense." Ruby commented.
"Exactly. I highly suggest you never order it. Its has given permanent damage to everyone who has tried it to date."
"Well that's because I haven't tried it." Weiss said confidently, he words slurring slightly. "I demand you bring me the bottle. I could finish the whole thing."
The Waiter looked as though he was about to argue, but decided it wasn't worth losing his job. He brought the bottle in a gloved hand.
"Don't let it touch your bare skin." He informed Weiss.
"Weiss, you seriously shouldn't do it." Yang spoke for the rest of the team. "I don't know if you overdose was even as bad as that."
"Yang, if there's one thing my body is good at, its keeping a cool head."
Yang rolled her eyes at her friend's pun, and felt light headed as she caught a whiff of the gasoline like smell emanating from the bottle.
"Here I go." Weiss said as she brought the bottle to her lips. The intense burning sensation was more severe than she expected, but she managed to swallow about a third of the bottle in one swig.
"Weiss, be careful." Blake warned.
"I'm fine." Weiss said as her speech began to slur. She took another swing, downing another impressive third.
"Weiss, you should at least give it time to settle in your system." Ruby said, almost begging.
"Ruby, what kills me will only make me stronger." Weiss stated as she downed the last of the liquor. As the bottle left Weiss' lips for the 3rd time, her vision became fairly blurred.
"I told you guys I could do it." Weiss said, slurring heavily.
"I don't know. Are you feeling drunk?"
"No, I'm as -hick- smooth as a whistle!" Weiss exclaimed attempting to whistle for effect, only to blow a puff of air in her girlfriend's face.
The rest of team RWBY looked worriedly at their increasingly drunk teammate for quiet a few minutes. Weiss giggled. "You guys are great. I'm s-serious. -hick- I fucking love you guys. You...-hick-...know what? I have something to say."
Weiss grabbed a glass and stood up, clinking it loudly with her fork to gain the attention of the restaurant.
"I have an...Announcement to…announce..." Weiss said with drunken speech. "I love these guys!" Weiss yelled to the rest of the restaurant. "I don't always act like it, but...I love these three. I love -hick- Blonde-y over here. I love this brooding Goth chick. And most of all, I love this girl in the silly red cape."
The rest of her team broke out into smiles at her drunken honesty.
"We -hick- got caught fucking in the closet."
The eyes of team RWBY widened as they realized what their partner had said to the restaurant. Weiss noticed the shocked reactions of the restaurant.
"Oh, no. Don't worry, it wasn't all of us banging. Just me and the caped-girl." Weiss slurred, utterly unaware how little difference her corrections made.
Within a few seconds, they were being escorted out of the restaurant forcefully by the security staff. They found themselves in an alley behind the place.
"I can't believe that just happened." Blake said as they all tried to stifle their laughter.
"I agree, Noble Knight." Weiss said. The rest of her team noticed she was wearing a Yellow Top hat she took of a rack while they were kicked out. "I'm in utter shock that they would treat their Queen with such little respect."
Weiss walked out of the alley followed by her team. "But it doesn't matter. Tonight, the whole city is my domain!"
"Holy shit. It happened again." Ruby said in disbelief. The Mad Queen had returned, and her team was bracing for the insanity that was destined to ensue.
